new stradegy for dealing with Bush

[morgan2]

Sometimes I begin to think that maybe George Bush isn't such a bad guy. Maybe he is as stupid as people joke about. Maybe it would be possible to change his ways if he could somehow be reached. Maybe this has a lot to do with why his handlers have him shut off from outside views, ranging from the free speech zones to the fact that he doesn't watch the news or read the papers. Yes stupidity doesn't excuse him, but a nicer approach of feeling sorry for how he's being used by these people might wake him up. The hard part would be having him hear the message. Just a passing thought I had now at 2:30 in the morning, maybe I'm way off...

1. (nope) shakes head.

Haven't you read the story about the snake? There was a girl who wanted to make friends with the snake. Remember what the snake said, when he finally bit her?

2. I believe it- here's how

Unlike Cheney, Bush actually seems human and capable of emotion...and sometimes compassion. But the people around him do not. Is there a way to reach him? There may be. I think Bush is willing to meet with all kinds of people- he met with Bono on AIDS. We need to identify a charismatic spokesperson who can humanize the issues of concern- health care for example- and make him see how much good he can do. I think that's how he was convinced on billions for AIDS. And I would put it all in charts, graphs, pictures, and stuff that will make a visual impression. DK may be the guy to do it.

3. I thinks not, since that pen

was not held in his hand by someone else when he signed all those death warrants and I hear he even made fun of a woman who begged for her life to be spared. What a Christian who shows no mercy. Only a veneer my friend the inside is cold, callous and calculated.

4. Why would you want to make him appear compassionate????

He is not! We are in the fight for our lives to get a REAL compassionate into office to help us and our elderly poor and disenfranchised voters. Those of us who know he is a lying fratboy who cares only for his rich contributors know that Bush MUST go! We have to do everything in our power to get him out of office!

10. laughing at and mocking woman on death row in Texas...

Sorry, there is way too much evidence that the guy is really really nasty. He has no compassion for anyone other than himself and his cronies.

There is absolutely NO evidence that he is compassionate.

On the other hand, the new RNC talking point seems to be that Bush is really a nice guy... It's the shift to the center for the election, in the hope that everyone forgets all the really nasty stuff that Bush did since he took the white house.

5. the same thoughts ran through my head, than i remembered

he was in skull and bones, all its members should be arrested

[SeveneightyWhoa]

7. Does that include John Kerry?

You're totally right! John Kerry is an EVIL, EVIL man! Arrest him!

[SeveneightyWhoa]

6. LOL @ "stradegy"

Is that how George W Bush spells it? It's always fun to mimick him.

8. hah

oops I should pay attention to that stuff more. Oh well

9. I think his problem is mostly apathy and intellectual laziness.

Sure, he's stupid, too- but that's more a result of the other two problems. His whole life has been characterized by a lazy, disinterested, "somebody else will do it for me" kind of attitude.

And someone else always has done it for him. Even his presidency.

He's not in charge anyway. It'd be like converting Reagan.
